ricer crap

Hi! I´m boring a bit,so I post this pic only for you to see some spanish ricer crap.

I´m sorry about the picture,i don´t have a scanner.
.

For if you don´t see it clear,there are pedals with skulls,neon lights,exhaust pipes with flags,shifters with lights (!),antennaes with lights (!),windshield washers with lights (!!!),and other ricer scum.

The real problem is young people love this things....The more I see this,the more i like my 944 as it is

It's not the same these days. I remember when all you needed was a go-faster stripe, four or five spot lights and a few dozen wing mirrors...

As a P-car owner and a college student, I am shocked at what I see driving around campus daily. I think the worst is a V6 mustang with a GR-R badge

Have you seen the latest PepBoys ads with Mannie, Moe and Jack actually touting this stuff? The original three are spinning in their respective resting places......Personally, I prefer stealth.

It applies to cars as it does to conversation: "Better to keep silent and be thought a fool than open your mouth and remove all doubt."

It gets better the other day I saw a set of hub caps that are larger than the wheel so it looks as if you have larger wheels they actually go over the tire. Or my all time favorite I am sure you have all seen the spinning wheels ( the ones that keep rotating once you stop) well they make those in a plastic hub cap also, All I can imagine is some kid doing 90 up the highway when one of those fails fly's off and hit some one.

"Ricer" Application to cars from Japanese manufacturers, not necessarily made in Japan. People of all types admire this stuff.
With the advent of inexpensive, miniature electronics and the proliferation of LED lights has the ability for kids to put a lot of this crap in their cars. Have you seen the guys with LCD displays in the engine compartment?
